The teaching of methodology is rarely included in the syllabuses of Argentinian Universities. It is often ignored because the assumption is that it is unnecessary for the education of lawyers. The law taught and transmitted in present day societies is a construct deeply rooted in human conducts in order to save efforts, avoid conflicts and /or to obtain power. These statements on law define it as construct created by some people as a tool for the regulation of social life. Researching on its origins, the difficulties in its enforcement, the level of efficiency and the actor’s lack of interest as regards the social effects of their decisions, are issues which are often verbalized but seldom researched, applying the sociological method. This article describes and pinpoints some of the problems observed in the teaching of methodology in the country’s Schools of Law and it focuses on the lack of reflection upon how research is done in a discipline, such as Law, whose subject of study is of a prescriptive nature.
